The third book in the globally popular Playing for Keeps series.

Can he leave the past behind to forge the future he's always wanted?

When it comes to dating, Adam Lockwood wouldn't know luck if it hit him in the face. After a failed relationship and a string of dates gone wrong, the thought of being vulnerable with someone is terrifying-most women only see his fame. But when his dog runs into Rosie Wells, a beautiful woman with a blush as pink as her hair, she doesn't seem to have a clue who he is, and Adam seizes the opportunity as a chance to finally be himself.

Rosie has her hands full as a single mother and fourth-year veterinary student, and she certainly wouldn't know a hockey player if she ran into one. She doesn't have time to date, and she's fiercely protective of her little family. But when a chance encounter leads her to Adam, she knows it's worth risking her heart.

The only problem? Adam is used to wearing a mask-he's a goalie, after all. And as he holds onto a secret that threatens to unravel him and destroy his new family, they're both at risk of losing more than ever before.

Unravel Me contains emotional references to the past death of parents and its surrounding grief, as well as brief discussions of foster care, depictions of child neglect (not by the main character), and the death of an animal (minimal descriptions and as it pertains to the FMC's training as a veterinarian student; not main character's pet). If you are sensitive to these subjects, please use this information to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with this story.
